bottom of body.
Notes
1. Head and body are worked in
continuous (spiral) rounds. Do not
join at end of round unless stated
otherwise. Place marker for beginning
of round and move marker up as each
round is completed.
2. To change color, work last stitch of
old color to last yarn over. Yarn over
with new color and draw through all
loops on hook to complete stitch.
Proceed with new color. Cut old color.
